As Good as I Once Was

She said, "I've seen you in here before"

I said, "I've been here a time or two"

She said, "Hello, my name is Bobby Jo

Meet my twin sister Betty Lou""And we're both feeling kinda wild tonight

You're the only cowboy in this place

And if you're up for a rodeo

I'll put a big Texas smile on your face"I said, "Girls, I ain't as good as I once was

I got a few years on me now

But there was a time, back in my prime

When I could really lay it down"And if you need some love tonight

Then I might have just enough

I ain't as good as I once was

But I'm as good once as I ever wasI still hang out with my best friend Dave

I've known him since we were kids at school

Last night he had a few shots

Got in a tight spot, hustlin' a game of poolWith a couple of redneck boys

One great big fat biker man

I heard David yell across the room

"Hey buddy, how 'bout a helping hand?"I said, "Dave, I ain't as good as I once was

My how the years have flown

But there was a time back in my prime

When I could really hold my own""But if you wanna fight tonight

Guess those boys don't look all that tough

I ain't as good as I once was

But I'm as good once as I ever was"I used to be hell on wheels

Back when I was a younger man

Now my body says, "You can't do this boy"

But my pride says, "Oh, yes you can"I ain't as good as I once was

That's just the cold hard truth

I still throw a few back, talk a little smack

When I'm feelin' bulletproofSo don't you double dog dare me now

'Cause I'd have to call your bluff

I ain't as good as I once was

But I'm as good once as I ever wasMay not be good as I once was

But I'm as good once as I ever was
